The Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Archive on Google Earth
 
"Hiroshima Archive" that is a digital archive about the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb. http://hiroshima.mapping.jp/ 
 
"Hiroshima Archive" is a pluralistic digital archive using the digital
 virtual globe "Google Earth" to display on it in a multilayered way
 all the materials gained from such sources as the Hiroshima Peace
 Memorial Museum, the Hiroshima Jogakuin Gaines Association, and the
 Hachioji Hibakusha (A-bomb Survivors) Association. Beyond time and
 space, the user can get a panoramic view over Hiroshima to browse
 survivors' accounts, photos, maps, and other materials as of 1945,
 together with aerial photos, 3D topographical data, and building
 models as of 2010. The archive aims to promote multifaceted and
 comprehensive understanding of the reality of atomic bombing.
